John Burkharst, Adm'tr FRIEND TINGLEY The following is the substance of an instrument of writing given to me, in the presence of several respectable witnesses, by Aaron Thomas, some time ago. As the original manuscript has been lost I cannot say it is an exact copy, but I can prove by the witnesses who were present at the signing of it, that it is the same in substance, except the omission of the words spoken, by said Thomas. As my reputation is liable to be injured by the promulgation of the report, unless some explanation is given, I wish thee to publish this, and oblige thy friend. John Dingee "To the public whom it many concern, I, Aaron Thomas, of Harrison county and state of Ohio, having circulated a slanderous report against John Dingee of the same county and state, * * * * * * which I did not say with any intention that the report should have been spread to the injury of said Dingee's character, - - I always considered him to stand as high in a moral point of view, as any of my acquaintance; and now, in justice to him, I am willing to say, that after investigating the cause that gave rise to the report, that I am satisfied I was altogether mistaken, and that there is no just grounds for the same. I am induced to give publicity to the above in order that the report may go no further to the injury of the person charged. Given under my hand the 7th day of May, 1823 Aaron Thomas Attest, Morgan Lewis LIST OF CANDIDATES, for Harrison County Representative John Patterson William Wiley Henry Barricklow Charles Chapman Sheriff William Arnold Baruch Dickerson Commissioner Wm.
